Gernikako arbola

The Gernikako Arbola (the tree of Gernika) is an oak tree located in front of the Assembly House in the Biscayan town of Gernika, and is undoubtedly one of the most universal symbols of the Basques. It symbolizes the traditional freedoms of Biscay and the Biscayan people, and by extension, those of the Basques. The oldest documented tree goes back to the 14th century.
